"Again, no one, I'll tell you guys and you know I'm a straight shooter," Whaley said. "We have not been contacted by any teams. I can probably see where people see our depth at running back and try to connect the dots with teams that don't have depth, but, again, nobody has contacted us."

There's a lot of smoke here amid plenty of movement -- and attempted movement -- in Buffalo's backfield. Spiller remains part of the plan for now, though, leaving the Bills with the option of trying to re-sign him to an extension before next season or allowing one of the team's most explosive playmakers to walk.

If Spiller returns to the on-field totals he enjoyed two seasons ago, he won't be easy for the Bills to keep around.
